sorry, meant the latter.
Where exactly did you drop the script? xml plugins are sourced in
the following order (on Unix):
$HOME/.vim/ftplugin/xml.vim
$VIM/vimfiles/ftplugin/xml.vim
$VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin/xml.vim
$VIM/vimfiles/after/ftplugin/xml.vim
$HOME/.vim/after/ftplugin/xml.vim
$HOME/.vim/ftplugin/xml.vim
If your script is meant to /replace/ the default script, it should
include, near the start,
if exists("b:did_ftplugin") | finish | endif
let b:did_ftplugin = 1
it does indeed contain that
and be located in an "early" directory. If it is meant to /
supplement/ the default script without replacing it, it should not
include the above lines, and it that case it should be in an "after-
directory".
it looks like since I didn't have the "filtype plugin on" in
my .vimrc, it didn't detect that I was editing a xml file, nor did I
'source' the xml.vim once I had the filetype plugin turned on.
problem solved!
I would figure that with all of the XML/HTML file editing that is
done with vim, that there would be a kitchen sink editor plugin with
some features other than the ones in xml.vim... is there something
that I'm not aware of out there, complete with Schema readers and such?
thank you for your help!!!
